President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that his administration would cut off federal funding to colleges that "allow illegal protests," in addition to threatening arrest, expulsion and deportation for student participants. While he did not divulge many more specifics in his post, it's clear from past statements that he's referring to pro-Palestine activism that has surged in wake of Israel's destructive invasion of Gaza.
"Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he wrote on Tuesday.
